Prime Minister's Mansion, Mourning Hall.

The plain white silk hung all over the mourning hall, and the sound of bowing his head and crying softly made the solemn hall a little more depressed and sad.

In the middle of the hall was a heavy dark Nanmu coffin, and there was an incense burner in front of the coffin.

The defense of men and women in Qingxiao is not very serious, so the people who come to worship do not sit in separate halls, but only erect screens between the halls to separate the seats of men and women. But because the hall is wide and grand, the two sides are far apart, but they do not interfere with each other.

On the east side of the hall is the men's seat, which is personally entertained by the prime minister; On the right side of the hall is the women's seat, which is entertained by Aunt Ruan.

"My sister left in a hurry, and there are no elders in the family, only the concubines came to receive the ladies first, and I hope that the ladies will be Haihan if they are not enough." Seeing that the officials and their relatives were almost here, Aunt Ruan walked to the front seat with a sad face and leaned over slightly, which could be regarded as a greeting.

But I didn't want to, as soon as these words came out, the banquet was instantly quiet.

In fact, it is not surprising that Aunt Ruan is just a concubine after all. But those who can accompany their husbands to such occasions are all wives. Letting the concubines entertain those ladies is suspected of belittling them.

If it were someone else's house, it is estimated that more than half of the ladies present would walk away when they encountered this situation.

But this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is a reason for it.

It's like knowing that you're going to swallow a fly, but you still have to swallow it. Naturally, they can't give a good face.

Aunt Ruan realized that she was being invisibly dried, and the hand in her sleeve tightened slightly, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart.

She must become the wife of the prime minister, and when the time comes, she will definitely let these legitimate ladies who look down on her grovel to her.

At this time, a delicate voice broke the stiffness in the air: "What's so strange about this, after all, this incident happened suddenly, and you have to be grieved and changeable." ”

Although it was a little strange for the main mother to say goodbye to the concubine when she died, after seeing the person who spoke, the officials frowned even tighter.

Because the person who spoke just now was straightened from his aunt. If Aunt Ruan's favorite concubine is what they hate, then this kind of person who is corrected from a concubine is what they are afraid of.

For a while, the officials and their relatives were a little uncomfortable when they were blocked by this successive old enemies. It wasn't until they saw the three women standing behind Aunt Ruan that their eyes lit up.

"Hey, didn't you say that the Prime Minister's Mansion has five daughters? Why only three? A well-mannered lady asked casually.

"Could it be that my mother-in-law is gone, so I can't come as a concubine." The other said.

"No matter how much my mother says, she is still a mother, it's too unruly!"

One person sneered coldly and said with a shallow smile: "Sure enough, it is a person who can't be on the stage, and it is also something that can't be on the stage." ”

……

In fact, it is still early, and it is not too late.

But the officials and dependents, who were already uncomfortable, tacitly ignored this.

These officials and dependents basically have concubines in their families, and they have been grudging for a long time, and they have long been incompatible with the concubines.

At first, they were just going to break their mouths and express their dissatisfaction, but they didn't want to, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. You and I are very lively, and the seemingly calm and soothing words are full of irony.

For a while, the atmosphere reached a tense point, and the lady who had spoken for Aunt Ruan before was extremely ugly.

Seeing this, a smile crossed Su Tianluo's eyes, and then he quickly lowered his head and pressed down, and walked slowly forward from behind Aunt Ruan, slightly attached to her ear.

Although her movements were subtle, they were very obvious in the eyes of the officials who had been paying attention to them.

In the midst of the stares, she lowered her voice in embarrassment and said, "This ...... Auntie, I think the eldest sister and the third sister lost their biological mother, and the grief was unbearable for a while, so I didn't come over. "The voice is small, but it is exceptionally clear.

"Why don't I go find them and let them at least give my mother one last ride?"

As soon as the words fell, the air froze.

Aunt Ruan dipped her reddish eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed: "Alas, just now you sisters didn't know that the two children who didn't come before were not born and raised by your aunt, but are serious bloodlines. "The word "lineage" is aggravated.
